Blogger Users- Why your Photos Upload Dark

The left image is how it was supposed to look and the right image is how it would look after upload.

Several weeks ago I noticed that some of the digit graphics I uploaded (not photos I'd taken) were uploading dark/muddy.

I really couldn't wrap my mind around it because when opened on my desktop they looked perfectly fine. Being as tech savy as I am (ha!) I figured that the problem would fix itself when I did the following:

Exited Blogger and signed back in

Restart my computer

Pretended like it didn't happen

Tried it on a different day

All of the above

One or all of the following has gotten me pretty far so you can imagine my frustration when none of those options worked.

What do you do when all else fails? Google it of course! I didn't realize the irony of this until this moment... You know, because Blogger is part of Google... Well I didn't find anything, which then lead me to believe two things:

This is a "new problem" for bloggers

I'm the only one that didn't get a certain memo

It took me a couple days to solve this not-so-big-but-annoying problem and all it took was unchecking a single box.

If you go to your google+ settings under Photos all you need to do is uncheck the box under Auto Enhance! Ta-da! That's all you have to do!

Has anyone else run into the problem yet? Were you quicker than I was to figure it out?

I tried doing this and my pictures are still darker and 'enhanced' when I upload them... It's really frustrating since I have a white background for all the products and then it turns out grey... Do you know why this wouldn't work for me?

AH!!!!!!! Lena!!!!! you are great!!!!!! I can still not believing that you solved my problem!! I was at the point to get mad! I couldnt explain WHY i saw all good in the many computer applications and once in blogger, sooooo bad! and I tried everything! oh!!! you are a genius and a patient person, and generous to share with all the desperate blogger and computer users!Tell me your adress, I want to send you a print for thank you! ( I am really, really thankful since I was carrying this problem since summer!

YES PLEASE I would LOVE a print! So are so unbelievable sweet to shower me with so much comment love. :) That print is super appropriate since we're currently in Japan with the military. But really, I would take you up on it! Could I have your e-mail to send you our mailing address? You're very talented. Do you have an Etsy? What's your blogger site?
